The player base for this game really does mostly suck doesn't it; good to know at least Paradox isn't chuddy at least.

I've not looked at Stellaris memes, but honest to god the amount of micromanaging that comes with not genociding xenos, not refusing refugees and/or selecting xeno compatibility is ungodly.

I do those things solely so I don't have to spend 50% of my game time (and 50% of my research time) on the population screen slowly re-modifying all the trillions of species that arrived, cross-bred, and created 10 new species that haven't used all their gene points every damn month. Then I have to wait for the project to be ready. Then I have to manually go to the projects screen and start it. FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL SPECIES.

The second Paradox actually introduce a mechanic that automates gene therapising without eating all my research, I will be overjoyed to finally play a large, diverse species playthrough.

The last time I gave Stellaris a go was with the Federations DLC and quickly realized it was awful trying to get anything done with how dog shit the AI is.
